Our Sounders kicked off Saturday at Lumen Field conceding in only the 13th minute to CF Montréal, an early gut punch against Eastern Conference bottom dwellers that forced our boys to claw back for a point all game long. It was a tough start, but you know this squad, they never quit.
The Fight Back Was Real
They spent the entire match pushing, fighting, and clawing for every single inch of turf, determined to get back into it. And you could feel the relief, the roar, when the equalizer finally hit in the 66th minute. That’s pure Sounders grit right there! A lightning-fast counterpress from Jesús Ferreira sparked a wild bit of pinball chaos, and then Sebastian Gomez stepped up, curling a beautiful finish in at the far post. BOOM! That’s the energy we need.
So Close, We Could Taste It
Honestly, though, we could have had all three points at home! Both sides were absolutely knocking on the door, and literally hitting the posts. First, it was our guy, Jordan Morris, who smashed one off the post in the 70th minute. You could almost feel the collective gasp, the shared heartbreak across Lumen Field. And then, just to rub salt in the wound, CFM’s Wiki Carmona did the exact same thing in the 89th. Wild, right? It was a real nail-biter right down to the wire.
So, all square in the end. A point is a point, I guess. It’s not the full three we wanted at home, especially against a team that’s struggling, but it absolutely shows the fight this squad has. We’ve got to start sharper, but that comeback energy is undeniable. Keep those fan ratings coming in, every voice matters!
